I'm a beginner to Java. I need to create an array of objects. I have a class called child and a method to assign the age of a child. Then in my main method i want to create an array of child objects and assign a random age to each object in the array. How do you create an array that contains child objects? I've tried things like: children [i] = new child(); but i can't get it to work! Any help would be appreciated. Regards, James

isn't is something like children[] = new child[i]; Chi They mostly come at night...mostly

I think it's the same as it is in C#: child[] children = new child[i]; or the 2 line version: child[] children; children = new child[i]; -SN

yeah, that's what i meant. child[] children = new child[i]; They mostly come at night...mostly

hi james solution is child [] children=new child[5]; classname[] arrayname=new classname[no of objects]; then u write child[0]=new child(23); classname[objectnumber]=new classname(age); child(23) is a parameterized construtor of class child. this should solve ur problem... do let me know when ur done Aman
